We are very excited about having our article being published in the Microsoft Partner Magazine –
The Record, winter edition. A magazine providing industry news and thought leadership on Microsoft and partner technology that's shaping the future of digital.
Mercato were thrilled to be asked to contribute to the magazine, especially as the issue tackles the subject of Digital Transformation, a topic that all of our products exemplify in sectors such as financial services, communications, technology, manufacturing, retail and hospitality.
The focus of our contribution is around the difference between digital transformation and digital transition as we find that many businesses confuse the two terms. So, what does digital transformation stand for?

Although this has been extremely useful for many organisations which handle a lot of paper documents, it is only the starting point in the digital era, one that is expanding faster than ever.
